[C320-list] New House Batteries

[John Ellis]

I've had good luck with Interstate Marine Deep Cycle 4Ds. I replaced mine this summer after 9 years! I found a good price on www.batteriesexpressinc.com<http://www.batteriesexpressinc.com> - paid online and picked them up at the local Interstate store. Two 4D batteries were $431.

Our recently purchased 2002 - 320 came with 4 ½ year old batteries which I
discovered to be 4D PowerSource Industrial/Tractor Batteries.



A recent overnight trip convinced me that they are heading towards the end
of their life.  Identical replacement batteries are $164 each.  The Marine
equivalents run around $600-$700.



Does anyone have thoughts on battery replacement?  I don't mind spending the
extra money - but would like to know what I'm getting for the money.



Also, in another post, the owner of an early series boat - in the #160s -
said that the Catalina supplied alternator was "undersized".  Does anyone
know if Catalina upgrade the alternator in later boats?


Thanks!
